you can buy them - http://www.bikefit.com/products.php. Not the least expensive but ready to roll. You most likely can check yourself when pedaling (use construction type laser) to find out what you need. I was checked pro and have two Look cleat wedges under each foot. Felt awkward at first but for sure better pedaling and more power. Could be placebo too

You can achieve the desired effect(s) of the shim by readjusting the position of the cleat on the shoe.

I forget the name of the shims (they are the ones in the picture above, so...LeMond's LeWedges), but I have been using them for years as well and they work well.

My concern about using washers would be that a portion of cleat would not be supported (touching) anything underneath it next to the washer...if that makes sense. So there would be a "wedge of empty space" under the cleat between the shoe sole.

BUT...with the above shims (or any offical shim), the cleat is in complete contact or "supported".

In regards to cost: -those yellow LeMond's LeWedges are $2-$3 dollars (in my area, at least). So, if you use one or two on each cleat (depending on your needs) you are only spending about $3-$12 for an important fit component.And they last almost forever.

In comparison to even a very INEXPENSIVE bike, the cost for a quality and accurate shim is a steal.

I bought a packet of 8 road wedges, including bolts and washers for about 20 quid. That's enough (for me) to do two pairs of shoes. Not really much when the shoes were (at retail) well north of 200 quid a pair. I'll be buying some more to do my MTB shoes later in the year.
